AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) is a project exchange format, originally
developed by the Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA).
Commonly used video applications that export project data in the AAF
format include Avid Media Composer, Avid Symphony, Autodesk Smoke
and Flame Premium, and Adobe Premiere Pro.
This chapter includes detailed information about recommended workflows
for moving projects from Media Composer (or Symphony) to
DaVinci Resolve for grading, either as a one-way trip, or as a round-trip
workflow in which you return to Avid Media Composer for finishing. Since
Media Composer round-trip workflows have many variables, this is
covered in depth within this chapter.
The end of this chapter also describes how to import audio projects from
ProTools that have been exported to AAF.
